"We have managed to put together the strongest musical program this year", Kádár Tamás, Sziget Festival's lead organizer said at the beginning of yesterday's press conference. "It's enough if you look at the headliners of the Main Stage with present-day stars like Kendrick Lamar, Gorillaz, Lana Del Rey, Mumford and Sons, Dua Lipa, Kygo or Arctic Monkeys". Kádár took over for Gerendai Károly as the lead organizer last year, after the latter announced his retirement of sorts from the position after 25 years. Kádár also revealed that after cross-checking with the festival's new investors - the event now has a three-year growth strategy.

Sziget Festival has a new management - and it clearly has a brand new way of revealing the artists, DJs, and other performers taking one of its stages in August. The event's last announcement, made on January 29, was great news for most of the attendees - and hopefully, the names below will also not be a disappointment. So, without further ado, here they are:
Dua Lipa
Gorillaz
Shawn Mendes
Stormzy
The War on Drugs
Nick Murphy FKA Chet Faker
Lianne La Havas
Desiigner
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
Gorgon City live
JP Cooper
Petit Biscuit
Borgore
Zhu
KSHMR

The final day of the 25th anniversary Sziget Festival has come. Over the last week, Szitizens had the chance to see amazing acts both on and off the stages of the event, enjoy the performances of illusionists, acrobats, clowns, and dancers, chill out and relax or even get their blood pumping to the music played or mixed by various musicians, artists, and DJs. Today, as a last hurrah, the stages and alleys of the event will be filled with an amazing variety of artists and shows, so that all the Szitizens will be able to go home with a set

It's Monday in the rest of the world but this doesn't count on the Island of Freedom, where - for seven days - you can forget about the traditional flow of time. Headlining the Dan Panaitescu Main Stage today will be Major Lazer, preceded by bands like George Ezra, Glass Animals, and TDCC (Two Door Cinema Club). Other notable performances to make your Monday great: Jagwar Ma, Flume, and Cashmere Cat on A38, Bassjackers at the Electronic Beats Arena, Klezmatics on the World Music Stage, and many others.
Today, those at home can follow streams from the Island of Freedom once

Although we were prepared for a storm, it didn't come early, so PJ Harvey could finish her performance on Sziget's Main Stage without interruption. Today, in turn, there is much more to expect, even though the weather is a bit more chilly than yesterday.
Headlining the Main Stage today are The Chainsmokers, preceded by performances by acts like Metronomy, Hurts, and White Lies, who will be streamed live later in the day. The A38 stage will be taken by acts like The Pretty Reckless, The Naked and Famous (who will likely perform fully clothed, though), and Tycho. The Electronic Beats Arena

The first (third) day of Sziget Festival's 25th-anniversary edition has arrived. The weather favors the participants and seems to stay favorable for the remainder of the event (with a few thunderstorms expected next Thursday, though). Today, many great acts and performers are expected to take the stage again. Headlining the evening we'll see Kasabian, preceded by performances by Rudimental and PJ Harvey. A38 will host acts like DJ Shadow, GTA, and Danny Brown, Stadium X and Nervo will take the Electronic Beats Arena, and the Classical, Opera and Jazz Stage will also open today.
Those at home will have the chance

The second (zeroth?) day of the 25th Anniversary Sziget Festival is here! Today, all venues are open and filled with performers and participants, turning the Sziget vibe up to the max. As you already know, Sziget's stages host a series of great performers today - and some of them are streaming live, too. The day is headlined by Wiz Khalifa on the Main Stage, preceded by artists like Tom Odell, Biffy Clyro, and Jamie Cullum. It will also host a Ball Party at 19:00 local time. The A38 stage will host artists like Watsky, The Vaccines, and Kensington, the Electronic Beats

As we have all gotten used to in the last years, the lineup of the Sziget Festival is not final until the first day of the event itself. Sziget's official Facebook page just made the announcement that Anne-Marie, the English singer-songwriter known for her collaborations with Clean Bandit and Rudimental, won't make it to this year's festival due to "unforeseen circumstances". Instead, fans will have the chance to hear Danish singer/songwriter Alex Vargas on the A38 stage on Tuesday, August 15th, at 16:45 local time.
The last spot on the Main Stage has also been filled. English synthpop duo Hurts will take the

The organizers have confirmed on the event's official Facebook page: Pink will headline Day -1 of the 25th Anniversary Sziget Festival. At the same time, the event has announced the prices for its day tickets - all of them will cost €65, no matter the date. The next price hike for 7-day and 5-day passes will occur on the 31st of May, so we can expect some further big names to be announced around that date.
Pink (often stylized as P!NK) was born Alecia Beth Moore in September 1979. She started writing songs at an early age, then proceeded to perform in
